Abstract
We have developed a prototype of Disaster Information Collection System using Cellular Phone that can be used under the communication congestion after a large earthquake. The person in charge of responses can easily store disaster information such as image, characters and location in a memory card of a cellular phone. We performed the field experiment on usability and simulating disaster information collection with ordinary citizen in Takamastu city, Kagawa Prefecture. Using the system using Cellular Phone, people could easily input such as public telephones, banks, mailboxes searched on their ways.
